Future Plans

Global Friendship House will be a welcoming home away from home for international students attending Old Dominion University (ODU). The Globe will be a hub for many activities and multi-cultural events for both students and American Friends. The three –story structure will be located directly across from ODU and will provide affordable residential space for 60 + students.

It will not only serve as a home for international globe residents, but also will be a gathering place for the international community at ODU.

We are excited about the new building! Check out the construction camera for live updates.
